Assignment Overview

This Case Assignment focuses on recognizing the link between

You are the new director of human resources at The King
Company. As director, you must play a large role in resolving the
organizational issues confronting the company and develop solutions for the
functional and managerial issues facing the HR department.

Click The King Company Background to review information on
the company.

[Note: You may want to download/print the company background
information provided in this module so that you have it handy as you work on
subsequent module assignments.]

Case Assignment

After reading the fictional King Company case, address the
following questions in an essay format which includes an introduction and
conclusion (not a Q & A format):

• Describe
the current relationship between organizational strategy and HR activities at
The King Company. Give three examples and analyze the relationships.

• What
improvements are needed to HRM’s strategic role at King? Discuss.

For the Case Assignment, utilize information from at least
two sources from the Trident Online Library to help strengthen and validate
your discussion.

Provide private-sector employer examples of HRM programs,
systems, processes, and/or procedures as you address the assignment
requirements. Provide names of the employers. Use different employer examples
than what have been used previously in your other papers and courses.

Make reasonable, cost-effective assumptions in your paper.
It is not an option, however, for you to hire additional help (temporary or
otherwise). State your assumptions in
the beginning of your discussion.

Paper length: 3–4 pages (not counting the cover and
reference pages).

Assignment Expectations

Your paper will be evaluated using the criteria as stated in
the Case rubric. The following is a review of the rubric criteria:

• Assignment-Driven:
Does the paper fully address all aspects of the assignment? Is the assignment addressed accurately and
precisely using sound logic? Does the paper meet minimum length requirements?

• Critical
Thinking: Does the paper demonstrate graduate-level analysis, in which
information derived from multiple sources, expert opinions, and assumptions has
been critically evaluated and synthesized in the formulation of a logical set
of conclusions? Does the paper address the topic with sufficient depth of
discussion and analysis?

• Business
Writing: Is the essay logical, well organized and well written? Are the
grammar, spelling, and vocabulary appropriate for graduate-level work? Are
section headings included? Are paraphrasing and synthesis of concepts the
primary means of responding, or is justification/support instead conveyed
through excessive use of direct quotations?

• Effective
Use of Information: Does the submission demonstrate that the student has read,
understood, and can apply the background materials for the module? If required,
has the student demonstrated effective research, as evidenced by student’s use
of relevant and quality sources? Do additional sources used provide strong
support for conclusions drawn, and do they help in shaping the overall paper?

• Citing
Sources: Does the student demonstrate understanding of APA Style of
referencing, by inclusion of proper citations (for paraphrased text and direct
quotations) as appropriate? Have all sources (e.g., references used from the
Background page, the assignment readings, and outside research) been included,
and are these properly cited? Have all sources cited in the paper been included
on the References page?

• Timeliness:
Has the assignment been submitted to TLC (Trident’s learning management system)
on or before the module’s due date?

It is important for HRM professionals to keep up on the HRM
field. In the SLP assignment in this class, you will be investigating an HRM
practitioner publication, HR Magazine (found in ProQuest from the Trident

Management (SHRM)—the largest professional association dedicated to HR
professionals.

Select an article of your choice, published within the past
three years, related to a topic in this module. Discuss the following:

What main points does the author (or authors) make? Do you
agree? Why or why not? What would make this article stronger? Bring in at least
one other author viewpoint on the topic (from your background readings or
library research), comparing or contrasting it to the article that you read.

You have a choice for the format of your submission, either
submit:

a. An essay
(2–3 pages, not counting the cover page or the Reference page) which includes
an introduction and conclusion

or

b. A
PowerPoint presentation with speaker notes on each slide. Not counting the
cover slide or the Reference slide, your slide presentation should be 3–5
slides.
